Do you also have the experience of rushing out the door in the morning and rather having a longer sleep than spending time preparing breakfast?  Or maybe you just struggle to eat that early in the morning?

Skipping breakfast can have a negative impact on your body.  This is because your body tries to draw on its reserves for nutrients and water; but these have become depleted overnight.

By not eating breakfast, you are likely to feel tired and hungry later in the day, crave caffeine or sweets as your body desires energy to raise your blood sugar levels.  This destabilises your blood sugar and can affect your weight loss and wellbeing in the long term.

A good breakfast wakes up your metabolism in order to have brain power and energy to function optimally.  Your chances of following a healthy eating plan, with regular meals throughout the day are also increased if you start your day with breakfast.

As much as eating breakfast is important, it is also very important to eat the RIGHT breakfast.  Your breakfast needs to contain key nutrients such as fibre, protein, complex carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals.  Therefore, be wary of the quick piece of white toast or refined cereals, as they give you a quick burst of energy, but leave you hungry again shortly.

Try the Herbalife healthy breakfast:
Have a Herbalife shake for breakfast.  It is quick to prepare and can be enjoyed on the run – even in the car on your way to work!  With less than 850 kilojoules, the shake is low in kilojoules, but does not sacrifice on being healthy and nutritionally balanced.  The Herbalife Formula 1 Nutritional Shake Mix has been scientifically proven to be an effective means of controlling and managing weight when combined with an active lifestyle.  Complement your healthy breakfast further with Thermojetics Herbal Beverage for extra energy and fat-burning properties.  The Herbal Aloe Concentrate, mixed in with your shake, offers digestive soothing and helps your system function optimally.

“I can’t do it on my own!”
“I don’t have the willpower!”
“It takes too much time!”
“The diet food tastes terrible, I can’t bear it!”
“I’m too tired to even think about it!”
“What if it doesn’t work, or I gain back all the weight?  I’d rather not try.”

I hear a number of these excuses from individuals on a daily basis.  And all of them have some validity and is real and true for the person providing the excuse.  All in all, we do realise that dieting takes you out of your comfort zone (in more ways than one!), and requires you to place priority on your eating and activity levels.  This might thus require some time from your schedule and agreeing some boundaries around food with your family.

Well, that doesn’t sound too hard…  so what is it that is actually keeping you from losing those extra kilos?  What is the benefit you are getting from being overweight / obese?  There sure is a benefit, otherwise you would have lost the weight a long time ago.

Herbalife products offer you a convenient way to lose weight, with healthy nutritionally balanced meal replacements.  Your Herbalife shakes takes only a few seconds to prepare and the only measuring you need to do is to mix 2 tablespoons of Formula 1 Nutritional Shake mix with water / milk / soy milk for your shake.  To lose weight, replace two meals a day with a shake and have a healthy third food meal.  You’ll get results in no time; have more energy and feel great as your body enjoys the nourishment on a cellular level.  The shakes are delicious and come in five different flavours to choose from (Vanilla, Strawberry, Chocolate, Cookies&Cream and Tropical Fruit).

It is winter time in South Africa, which means wet, cold and snow capped mountains where I live!  It also usually means piling on layers of clothing, hot chocolate and other comfort foods!

This winter I decided that I want to look good and feel great all through winter and right into spring, beating the spring need for weight loss and exercise.  It hasn’t been easy all the time, but I can truly say that I am feeling great, I have lots of energy, sleep well and have not had to fight a cold or flu this winter.

The greatest contributor to my feeling of wellbeing is my trusted Herbalife products.  My Herbalife shake has become one of my favourite foods and I look forward to my 2 diet shake meal replacements per day.  They are so easy and convenient and takes only seconds to prepare. I use Herbalife Nutritional Shake Mix, Personalised Protein Powder, Thermojetics and Herbalife Herbal Aloe in my shake, mixed with a little milk and topped with water.  For my shake just after / before exercise, I add a small banana to the mix.

For exercise I am doing boot camp, which is exercising outside at the crack of dawn.  This might not be for everyone, but the key is to find something that you do love.  Do you love dancing?  Then join a dance class.   Maybe more low key exercise like Pilates, Yoga or Callanetics?  Enquire about classes at your nearest gym.  Maybe you like to multitask and also have some time with a friend?  Get your friend to join you in walking 3-5 times a week.  Exercise remains a great stress reliever and releases serotonin in your body.  Serotonin is a feel good hormone and the more you have of this, the less inclined you will be to eat for comfort or emotional eating.

Most of us know that a healthy lifestyle is characterised by healthy eating and some moderate exercise.  But do you know of all the benefits that come with this (besides the obvious ones)?

A recent study from the Iowa State University found that people who exercise for about 30 minutes, 5 days a week, may use fewer sick days!  The research found that individuals who exercise regularly and did come down with the flu, was better able to get over it.  They showed fewer symptoms and traces of the virus in their lungs than those individuals not following an active lifestyle.  Remember though to not start exercising / or to exercise when you already have the flu (or showing symptoms such as fever, aches or sore throat).

Find an exercise routine that is exciting and then change it about every 6 weeks. Going to the gym or jogging is not your only option – try bootcamp, a dance class or even your home exercise equipment!

Couple your exercise with a healthy diet for best results.  The Herbalife weight loss programme offers you a nutritionally balanced meal in a glass.  To lose weight, you would replace two meals a day with your shake.  The shakes are full of healthy nutrients, vitamins and minerals – helping you keep your energy level up and your tummy feeling full.  And, as a great bonus, looking leaner and healthier!
